February 26, 2004

PRAGUE, Czech Republic, February 17, 2004 - JetBrains, Inc., creator of
intelligent
application development tools for the Java platform, announced today its IntelliJ
IDEA 3.0
Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE), has been named Most Innovative Java
Product of 2003, in the
annual Java Developer's Journal Readers' Choice Awards presented this week at Edge 2004
East, in Boston.

In the annual competition, more than 15,000 readers of Java Developer's Journal, a
leading publication for
software developers, vote during a 10-month period for winners in a wide variety of
categories. The JDJ
Readers' Choice Awards, often called the "Oscar of the Software Industry," are
administered by SYS-CON Media.
The full Awards results are available at http://sys-con.com/java/.

"At JetBrains, we offer the most progressive, cutting-edge developer tools, and we are
honored that JDJ
readers named us for this year's Most Innovative Java Product award," said Eugene
Belyaev, President, Chief
Technology Officer at JetBrains. "This award is important confirmation that our fellow
developers recognize the value of IntelliJ IDEA innovations."

"2003 turned out to be a watershed year for Java, with enterprising companies taking
Java beyond the server
to mobile devices, automobile sensors, vending machines, point-of-sale systems, airline
seat-backs - all the
while knowing that J2SE 1.5 would soon be on its way to speed up deployment. The
nomination and award process
whereby JDJ's readers have given JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA a Readers' Choice Awards
strongly reflect this
renewed energy and expansion of Java, and the Award shows JetBrains to be one of the
industry's absolute
leading players in the highly competitive Java space," said Joe Ottinger,
editor-in-chief of JDJ.

JetBrains continued breaking ground in IDE technology this year, with the recent release
of IntelliJ IDEA 4.0,
